Candidates will be expected to teach required courses in the undergraduate public health curriculum. The preferred candidate will have teaching strengths that support courses such as Environmental Health, Methodological Approaches in Public Health, and Social and Behavioral Aspects of Public Health. Candidates will also be encouraged to develop new elective courses
that align with their substantive area of expertise within environmental health and justice.
Candidates are also expected to perform meaningful service on department, college, and university committees; participate in departmental activities; serve their profession/discipline and/and community partners (if appropriate); and complete other related duties as assigned.

Candidates should possess a Ph.D., DrPH, or equivalent doctoral degree with expertise in environmental health, environmental sciences, environmental justice, or closely related social/behavioral science. Persons who will have their doctoral degree conferred by August 15, 2021 are eligible to apply. Candidates who additionally possess an MPH degree in any public health discipline are highly valued. The College is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute to the academic community’s diversity and excellence at Wayne State University.
Candidates should apply via jobs.wayne.edu and include a cover letter that addresses: (1) research accomplishments and interests; (2) teaching philosophy and experiences, particularly regarding undergraduate instruction; (3) potential for having a metropolitan impact; and (4) commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in these efforts.
